Toppik Hair Building Fibers, Dark Brown

I ordered my first can of Toppick Hair Building Fibers based on the mostly good reviews by other users. I agree that this is a good product. It's not great, it doesn't make me suddenly look like I have lots of hair, but I must say that it is better than the hair I "naturally" have now. Apparently due to aging, my once very thick hair has thinned drasically in the past ten years, and I have tried many, many products in an effort to either regrow hair, or to give the illusion of more hair. Toppick is applied after shampooing, drying and styling, and on top of any other hair thickening products. It is a fine powder that is manually shaken from the can. Toppick is sold in several different color shades and "Light Brown" is the first shade that I tried, as I have light brown hair with blond highlights, neither of which are my natural shade. After the first few shakes, I discovered that there were more hair building fibers all over my shoulders, shirt and the bathroom than on my head. I invested in the applicator made to fit over the top of the can and I urge anyone who is interested in trying Toppick, to do the same. The nozzle-tip applicator makes it much easier and neater to apply this product. The major plusses of Toppick are that it hides my shiny pink scalp and I find that the fibers do give the illusion of more hair. The minuses include: 1. I need to use a lot of Toppick to achieve the desired results, making this product more expensive than I thought it would be; 2. I need to use a special "spray" to get the fibers to stick in place, adding another expense; 3. Any time I comb or "fix" my hair during the day, the Toppick fibers come out, so I need to reapply which is not easily accomplished when not at home; and 4. the powder texture dulls the look of my hair. Since the minuses are greater than the plusses, for me, I gave the Toppick Hair Building Fibers, Light Brown, only 3 stars. Will I continue to use this product? Absolutely - I haven't found anything else that hides my "naked" scalp and gives even a slight illusion of more hair as well as as the Toppick Fibers. Will I continue to use Rogaine as well as other thickening and volume building products? Absolutely - at least until a magic potion is developed to successfully regrow hair, or my vanity weakens. If you are a mature woman and your crowning glory has been reduced to just a few strands, I would highly recommend that you give Toppick a try, just don't make your expecttions too high.
